His father, also named Thomas Meagher (1763–1837), had emigrated from Tipperary to St. John's, Newfoundland, where he became a successful businessman.[1] The younger Thomas was born in St. John's and returned to Ireland in his 20s to represent his father's business interests, where he prospered. Meagher was Mayor of Waterford in 1843 and 1844,[2] the first Roman Catholic mayor of the city since the penal laws. He was elected at the 1847 general election as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Waterford City.[3] He was re-elected in 1852, and held the seat until he stood down at the 1857 general election.[3] Meagher's own son, Thomas Francis Meagher (1823–1867), was a leader of the Young Irelanders in the Rebellion of 1848. His death sentence for the rebellion was commuted to transportation to Australia, from where he escaped and went to United States, where he rose to the rank of brigadier general in the U.S. Army during the American Civil War, and later became acting governor of the Montana Territory.
